Chapter 94: with translation of chapter title

~8 min read 1,535 words

title: "94 is truly a waste of heavenly bounty."

"Originally, there were supposed to be thirteen stabs, but Song Jiuan only stabbed twelve times."

"Zhu Guanghao's spirit was tormented to the point of collapse; before he passed out, his gaze had already become dazed."

Now he no longer needs to pretend to be mentally ill; after he wakes up, the mental hospital will be his home for the rest of his life.

"He knew that from today onward, Lan Yi would no longer be threatened by that madman."

Zhu Guanghao will never dare show up in front of her again.

"And all of this is because Tushan Jiu gave him an opportunity."

He must not repay kindness with enmity; if he really acts on impulse and stabs that final blow, he will bring her great trouble.

Just now downstairs he realized: she simply hadn't pursued him.

Otherwise, the force on that small nail clipper just now would have been enough to scatter his soul and spirit.

Tushan Jiu saw his hesitation, hung up the phone, and curled her lips. "Since I've lent you the knife, it doesn't matter to me; it's up to you—if you want to stab, stab, no need to worry about me."

Song Jiuan, however, sat up straight and shook his head: "No, thank you, Miss Tushan."

Tushan Jiu was somewhat surprised: "You know me?"

"Song Jiuan sat up straight and shook his head, saying, 'No, thank you, Miss Tushan.'"

This is why he has been dead for a year and still remains in the underworld.

"Moreover, Fengdu City in the Underworld is currently expanding outward, building many houses to accommodate these stranded ghosts."

Thus we need to include "Fengdu City" as a place name? The glossary list only includes named entities that appear; we should add if appears. So we need to add "Fengdu City". Also maybe "Nan Cheng" appears later.

"After subtracting those who reincarnated as animals, there are still over two or three hundred million people down there."

"That's really somewhat exaggerated."

"Song Jiuan's answer was off the point, but Tushan Jiu understood."

"That means they've been down there for a long time, and most of their family members hold official positions down there, so naturally they've heard of the title 'Knife-lender'."

But we also need to list it in glossary? The glossary list is for named entities/coined terms that appear. We should include the English translation we used. So we add "Knife-lender". However we need to ensure we don't duplicate.

"Tushan Jiu smiled helplessly; it's really that few people above know about the Knife-lender, even being called a rare profession by those of the Mysterious Gate, but down below everyone knows it."

"However, hearsay aside, after a Knife-lender dies, they can no longer lend knives."

"That's also why, in this Hell Rift Incident, the Five Direction Ghost Emperors will have her father come up to ask her to lend knives."

"Tushan Jiu doesn't know why such a rule exists, because her grandfather said that since they became Knife-lenders, it has always been this way."

"Otherwise, they wouldn't be urging marriage and inheritance."

"Tushan Jiu once expressed that she didn't understand it, but she had no choice but to respect it."

"She raised an eyebrow: 'Alright, since the knife has been lent to you, come find me at this time tomorrow. My payment is that all the money you earn in the Underworld before your reincarnation will be saved in my name.'"

same.

This seemingly hasty temporary idea can also be carried forward in the future.

Thus, down there she will have someone working for her.

Looking far ahead, when she eventually passes away a hundred years from now and goes down with Xie Shiyu, wouldn't that be carefree and blissful?

"Looking far ahead, when she and Xie Shiyu pass away after a hundred years, won't they be carefree and at ease?"

"Not bad, not bad, very good."

"One's own little brain is still quite sharp."

Tushan Jiu lifted her chin toward Lan Yi, whose eyes were full of tears, and said, "The police should be here in about five minutes; she'll probably be taken away for questioning, and later you can talk again."

"Tushan Jiu lifted her chin toward Lan Yi, whose eyes were full of tears: 'The police should be here in about five minutes; she estimates she'll be taken away for questioning; later, you can talk again.'"

"She waved at the somewhat frightened Lan Yi."

"Lan Yi looked at Song Jiuan."

"Song Jiuan nodded: 'Go on, Yiyi.'"

"His bodily energy is gradually disappearing; he can barely sustain his manifested form."

Tushan Jiu didn't say much more, then pulled out the rhino-horn incense from her pocket again: "When this incense burns, after it smokes you, you'll be able to see him until this time tomorrow; but likewise, you'll also see other wandering souls and wild ghosts—do you want to light it?"

"Tushan Jiu didn't say much, pulling out the Rhino Horn Incense from her pocket again: 'When this incense burns, after it smokes you, you'll be able to see him until this time tomorrow; but likewise, you'll also see other lonely souls and wild ghosts; do you want to burn it?'"

Lan Yi understood clearly, nodded without hesitation, even a bit eagerly: "Burn, I'll burn!"

"Lan Yi understood, nodding without hesitation, even a bit eagerly: 'Burn, I'll burn!'"

"The Rhino Horn Incense burned and then went out; the time was longer than when we previously smoked Xie Jingzhou and Xie Jingting outside."

"Tushan Jiu waved the scent in the air, then pinched off a small piece for Lan Yi with her finger: 'This is something you'll use.'"

"Lan Yi didn't understand, but she still thanked her and took it."

"At the moment the scent dissipated, a knocking sound came from behind."

"The person who arrived was Zhang Xuefeng, whom they hadn't seen in some days."

Tushan Jiu nodded, raised her phone: "A year ago, two students at Nan Da got into a dispute that led to one death; the other party was later found to have a mental illness and lacked criminal responsibility at the time, so he was sentenced to less than a year."

"Tushan Jiu nodded and raised her phone: 'A year ago, two students from Southern University had a dispute that led to one's death; the other party was later found to have a mental illness, lacking criminal responsibility at the time of the crime, so they were sentenced to less than a year.'"

"She then showed her office identification, then pointed at Zhu Guanghao on the ground: 'He's the guy who killed that person back then; he was faking it, and in the video he admitted it himself. You guys can look into the rest yourselves; I'm leaving now, and if you need to ask me anything, you can contact the Nan Cheng Office at any time.'"

"Look, being an official civil servant comes with lots of benefits."

"Leave it to them to handle officially; anyway, she doesn't need to mediate."

"Passing through the myriad ghost thicket, not a speck of trouble sticks to one."

"Tushan Jiu left, and the dormitory door, lacking support, fell over again."

Upon seeing the floor covered in blood and Zhu Guanghao lying on the ground, alive or dead unknown, they all covered their mouths in fright, then rushed to the police, trying to explain.

"Upon seeing the floor covered in blood and Zhu Guanghao lying on the ground, alive or dead unknown, they all covered their mouths in fright, then rushed to the police side trying to explain."

"Zhang Xiaohui said: 'Police comrade, Lan Yi is definitely acting in self-defense!'"

At the moment Lan Yi was brought out by Zhang Xuefeng, the two also hurriedly gathered around.

"Lan Yi, you......"

Lan Yi shook her head at the two of them, "I'm fine; I might need to go back to my hometown later, I'll return after Mid-Autumn, please ask for leave for me."

"Lan Yi, is that Zhu Guanghao dead?" Zhang Xiaohui said, a little afraid.

"No, don't be afraid; the school will definitely rearrange our dorms later."

Even if that person isn't dead, anyone would feel uneasy about such an incident.

Zhang Xuefeng called out from behind, "Lan Yi, it's time to go."

"Okay, Officer Zhang." Lan Yi replied.

Because there was video evidence, Lan Yi was not treated like a suspect; she wasn't handcuffed and followed Zhang Xuefeng downstairs.

Downstairs, Xie Jingzhou and Xie Jingting also ran up when the police arrived.

Tushan Jiu leaned against the doorframe with her arms crossed, watching the police withdraw from the scene.

The two approached and asked her, "Sister-in-law, are you alright?"

"What could happen to me? You don't even know my sister-in-law's strength—come, have a lollipop to calm your nerves!" Tushan Jiu took out three lollipops and gave one to each of them.

Wang Dongqing, standing not far away in the hallway, saw the two holding lollipops infused with thirty years of ghost power, and they just ate them as ordinary lollipops.

"Tushan Jiu is being too extravagant—those are thirty years of ghost power, and she just handed them out to ordinary people to eat?"

What a waste!
